![]() Slack messaging sending etiquetteĬommunication is key for any productive team, and everyone has their own preferences for when, where, and how they like to receive messages. Slack’s new scheduled send feature is an awesome way to make that happen for your team. But regardless, your company is probably busy, as all successful companies are, so it’s important to be respectful of everyone’s time and priorities. So, needless to say, this is a real challenge most modern workplaces face, especially as we all shift in and out of work from home or distributed work environments. It usually takes over 20 minutes just to get back on track with a task after being interrupted, and since the average US worker is interrupted 13.7 times each day, that could mean half of your day is wasted literally scrambling between tasks and projects. Context switching between tasks and topics can greatly degrade your quality of work as your mind is only half-in, half-out on your last task. For people who are frequently interrupted, there’s only a 44% chance they’ll end the day feeling successful compared to 67% who were not frequently interrupted.įrequent interruptions also have a massive impact on your productivity. In fact, 71% of people report frequent interruptions when they’re working, and it’s having a serious impact on our sense of accomplishment. So why is this important? Because it’s way too easy and disruptive to interrupt another at work. This is again ideal for messages that you need to send, but aren’t super urgent and do not require interrupting your colleague from their current priority. Slack’s new scheduled send feature is as straightforward as it sounds: you can now schedule your Slack messages to be delayed and sent in the future. ![]() This, paired with some awesome status syncing capabilities from Reclaim.ai, can help you become a rockstar Slack communicator and role model for your team. Your colleague may be in an important meeting, doing some heads-down work, or just sleeping because you’re located on the other side of the world! Nobody wants to be the annoying person pinging another for a non-urgent item when it’s just not a great time to hear from you.įortunately, Slack saw this challenge and came at it with a much-anticipated feature launch in June of 2021: scheduled sends for Slack messages. If you’re a regular Slack user, you’ve probably debated sending a message to another team member when you know it’s an inconvenient time. ![]()
